You can't expect IRAQIS to live under these kinds of circumstances and not loose a bit of their humanity along the way.

You armchair guys have no idea what state of mind the IRAQI people are in.

That doesn't mean you should condone the IRAQIS arming themselves to the teeth and creating atrocities fighting a foreign invading army that has destroyed their livelihoods.

And if the blame lies with the chickenhawks in power who put the troops in Iraq, then the blame lies with the American people who put the chickenhawks in power, TWICE. It is ALWAYS the responsibility of the people, the people always have the power.

We all have the power to stop it, never ever let anyone tell you that we don't. When we want peace we will get it.

The whole situation is pretty scary, not so much because I care about Georgia, but because I really don't want us to start fighting with Russia.

Here's an article that covers McCain's response.

Here's one with Obama's response.

One's saying PEACEKEEPERS and diplomacy, the other is saying DIPLOMACY and peacekeepers.

Here's to hoping the current chickenhawk-in-cheif listens to the diplomacy part. So far, I'm not encouraged.

The talking head is trying to isolate and discredit Iran. His aim is to discredit and confuse anything Iran says.

These warmongering mf'ers (chickenhawks) have nothing to lose from starting a new war. Meanwhile Nancy Pelosi does still not have a spine. She had an excellent argument for finding her spine, in a congressional investigation, but she delegated that to her aides, who may or may not find the spine after they get done blowing lobbyists. LOL.

I'll just hold my breath for a couple weeks and see if the war with Iran turns nuclear. TBH, if you look at the relevant legislation in the USA, we are virtually at war with Iran now.

>> ^Farhad2000:
It's because of people like Kingston and Obama not wearing flag pin that we are losing the war on terror. Unbelievable.


Word.

Is this some pitiful attempt at another chickenhawk swiftboat ambush?

So fake. Those idiot boys of his that are so chickenhawk they ride around in an RV for the last 8 months (go to Iraq Romney boys) and it took them this long to "discover" soundboards, and then put a "hip" interwebz video out there.

Lame.

Don't you think that if a "surge" was the right idea and is "working"... Shouldn't someone be put in jail or held criminal negligent? I mean since day 0, the Generals have been calling for more troops. From before we invaded, since shock & awe, since mission accomplished.. Every General called for more troops, and Bush instead replaced them when he didn't like what they said. (Do some googling if you are going to be retarded enough to dispute this fact)

So, instead we wait four and a half years or so, and then send in more troops? WTF?! Four years of death and mayhem and no electricity or gas or kerosene in a country that has some of the largest pools of light crude just under the surface?!! Are you kidding?

And since WHEN has the Decider once used Intel? Cite one single source where he was given non-cooked intel and used it. Hey has madeup, fabricated or cherry-picked the "facts" and intel for almost every major decision.

Ok, that was if the "surge" was even a good idea or "working". Which if you think more dead people, more dead soldier and more violence is working, then you are right QM (you coward of a chickenhawk), mission accomplished. (QM is most likely of age to enlist, so let's hope he does soon)

Hey, deedub81, I can only assume you are born in 1981, so you had better shut your mouth with this we have to "let soldiers get killed as long as it takes" bullsh*t. You are old enough to enlist, so if you aren't already a veteran, you should shut your chickenhawk yap. And even 300 lbs fatties can go to the special army fat camp and eventually make it over to Iraq. What do you say? Heck you're probably done with college by now. Time for a second career.

To anyone that says "it will be a blood bath to pull out"... WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK ITS LIKE NOW?!

To QM: "if you're lucky enough not to have to go "over there" you should be grateful." ... as we have said before, you MUST be over 17 by now, so PLEASE go see a recruiter. Any chickenhawks that spend time telling others about fighting over there and how great the war is should either STFU, get lost, or go enlist. Really, if you are going to repeat talking points like a mantra, go and do the right thing, support your troops and your mouth with your body (and put your body in Iraq).

You think us, sane people, over "here" are safer after 4 years of Bush incompetence and arrogance in Iraq? You think Afghanistan is going well? You think giving Pakistan millions is a good idea? You think our recent brilliance in Palestine has gone over well.

Face it, Bush is one guy you went to the bar with who is drunk, talking too loud, spilling his drink, and hitting on some dudes gf.. oh and it's a biker bar.

Great Stuff, thanks for posting. Here is Max's blog

Nice quote Choggie! Course with our current chickenhawk leadership I would almost be in favor of requiring military service to run for political office. Something like the service gives citizenship (PDF) seen in Robert Heinlein's Starship Troopers.

Mmmmm....grilled chickenhawk!

Ivory tower chickenhawk neocon. Watch him squirm:

During a C-SPAN appearance this morning, Weekly Standard editor Bill Kristol was confronted by a military wife living in Ft. Hood, TX, who called in to criticize him for “pushing the war.”

The woman explained the incredible stress of having her husband deployed in Iraq:

I’m sure when your head hits the pillow you have a luxury of dreaming about anything that your mind will allow you to dream about… I sleep with the phone under the pillow. My kids — if someone rings the doorbell, instead of normal kids they freeze. And they’re in elementary school. You all don’t understand. We are military people but we are people, too. And the stress that we are under is tremendous.

While she spoke, Kristol appeared uncomfortable, looking downward and scratching markings into a piece of paper.

You are so hilariously ignorant.. you must be faking it.. channeling Colbert or something. Are those your "facts" that you feel from your stomach?

You know who did fund Taliban and Hussein and just about every terrorist group you can imagine?

Did you know Chavez may be one of the last freely elected leaders of democracies in the Americas? You think Mexico had an honest election? Will the US ever again?

I think you are the last chickenhawk holding out to this "islamofascist" rhetoric. Dude, enlist already, go to Iraq, if you can ever get out do it and become a hired contractor over there and make mad $$$. Otherwise, shut your chicken hawk pie hole.
